Drumroll please...

We are having twins! I had my first ultrasound last night. Joe left work early to join me. Something in the back of my head told me that this extreme nausea I've been having, so strong that it wakes me at night, had some cause. Joe had a feeling as well.

My doc who normally puts the ultrasound screen directly in view for me to see turned it towards himself for a minute to get a clear view. Joe could still see from his vantage point and he told me after the fact that he saw two black spots of the screen an instant before the doctor said, "Congratulations, it's twins!"

Wow. Wow. Wow. We are still in a state of shock and awe right now. Both babies already have beating hearts and one measured slightly smaller than the other. My doctor said not to immediately plan for twins because we could possibly lose one before the first trimester is over but he was very optimistic.

He also said to us that he didn't even really know if we were going to be good candidates for IVF moving forward because of all the obstacles we had and the way my body didn't respond well. That just confirms to me that this was all in God's hands.

Well, I am off to try and soak all this information in and try to find some bland bread to soothe my tummy!

We are due the day before Thanksgiving (how fitting) but will probably go earlier because there are two. Holy moly!

Kelly, OMG, congratulations!!!! That's so amazing, I'm so happy for you and Joe and Charlie! Clearly I haven't checked your blog in too long, and you're much further along by now. Hope you're doing (and feeling) well, and the fam. {{bigsquishyhugs}} I miss chatting with you! :}
